Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. Fine unread condition black boards with silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Authors' Dedications; Acknowledgments; Epilogue; Notes and Index. Illustrated with two sections of black-and-white photographic plates. "I have to caution you, this is not a game." - Karlheinz Schreiber, from the rear outer jacket. "A political thriller, a business expose, and the unmasking of an international web of power, money, and influence." - from the rear outer jacket. "A briefcase full of cash is handed to the treasurer of a federal political party, but the donation is never registered on the party's books. A public prosecutor investigates a case that implicates influential business figures, but he dies in a car accident before charges are laid. At the height of the Gulf War, a sale of sophisticated tanks to Saudi Arabia yields millions in secret commissions - almost half the value of the deal - for a network of middlemen. The figure who connects these seemingly unrelated episodes is Karlheinz Schreiber, and name much in the headlines since his arrest in Toronto in August 1999. Charged in Germany with bribery and tax evasion, he is at the center of the most sensational political crisis to erupt in that country since World War II, a scandal that has brought down the country's revered former chancellor Helmut Kohl. But it is in Canada that Schreiber's fortune was made. A tireless dealmaker who cultivated the powerful, he made connections in Ottawa that served the interest of his European patrons and clients. One was Airbus Industrie, a company desperate to break into the North American market by selling its planes to Air Canada. It ws the secret commissions attached to the Air Canada sale - close to $20 million on a $1.8-billion contract - that became the subject of an RCMP investigation, the same investigation that prompted a lawsuit by former prime minister Brian Mulroney. Those commissions were ultimately shared with Schreiber's German amigos and with his Canadian friends. The Last Amigo is about the labyrinth of international political and business alliances that are at the heart of the scandals swirling around Karlheinz Schreiber: how corporations win government contracts, how money is successfully hidden in foreign banks and distributed through coded accounts, how an international political agenda is promoted and financed. It is a tale of media spin, covert influence, and undeniable personal gain. And it is a portrait of a consummate middleman who knew precisely how to exploit the ambitions and vulnerabilities of others." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'Don't leave us alone. Keep it up until we let you in.' Parents today, on a never-ending search for ways to empathize with, connect with, and guide our teenage children, often forget to start at the beginning: by asking what our children need us to know. Author Michael Chiasson has hit upon a brilliant cross-generational concept--teens writing anonymous short letters to parents about their fears and desires--that can be immensely helpful to both the kids and their caregivers, who often approach issues from very different perspectives.In Things We Wish Our Parents Knew, Michael draws from his decades of experience speaking with students across North America, as well as his own childhood experiences, to help parents, teachers, and others who interact with teens break down barriers between them and the kids in their care. In his talks, by giving students the prompt 'Things I wish my parents knew,' he unleashes a world of honest and unspoken wishes, needs, concerns, and emotions that most parents have no idea their children are feeling. The result is parents who gain clarity and teens who feel seen, valued, heard, and loved.In this book, Michael distills the gold mine of information from these letters into universal lessons, as well as exercises for reflection and connection, that all caregivers can learn from. His heartfelt, accessible guidance, along with excerpts from the letters themselves, provides an indispensable bridge for the gap between adults and teens and an answer to the all-important question: How can we better understand our children and build a stronger connection with them.…
